I'm in the same boat. I'll always be pear-shaped with a big butt for the rest of my body. But I agree with the lifting advice. It sounds like you're at a good weight, so you should just tone it up. Lift HEAVY. Girls never lift enough weight!! Do some squats, leg press, lunges with heavy weights. You shouldn't be able to do…

Cold turkey. Sugar is an actual addiction. You go into withdraw and have physical symptoms and generally feel cruddy for a few days when you give it up. But the great thing about it is, after you go a while without having it you won't crave it anymore. Things like fruit will suddenly taste super sweet and delicious. I have…

I don't know what Tim Horton is, but I'd stay away from Little Caesar's. Wendy's has really good salads and I've heard their chili is good. I like the apple pecan chicken salad. That stats are pretty good on that one.

egg whites would work

Also, many of your daily entries look incomplete. It could be that you're eating more than you think if you don't track.

Drastically cut your carbs and no more sweets!

The only thing that has ever worked at all from a dermatologist was spironolactone, which sadly I can't be on anymore since I want to get pregnant soon. Antibiotics, all topical creams only caused irritation, made me get sunburned within minutes, and didn't help at all! So frustrating, but perhaps it's time to go back. I…

I would say no. Coincidentally, things could match up so it looks about the same, but there are too many other factors at play. Say they have a mild insulin resistance: the one eating lots of sugar is not going to lose as much weight as the one eating healthy vegetables and lean meats. The one eating crap is probably not…

Calbee Snapea Crisps are so delicious. They are not super low in carbs (about 16grams per serving) but it's seriously like eating potato chips. I splurge occasionally with them :)

Yes, I still do it and it's still great! Challenging every time and I see myself getting stronger and more toned. I'm able to lift heavier weights to keep it challenging. I never did classes before this, but I think I was really missing out. It keeps me so much more motivated and I get a way better workout than by myself.

Gonna say no, cuz I need a guy

There's no evidence that it makes you gain weight. Some speculation, but no real evidence. Pay attention to how you feel after you drink it. Do you crave sugar more? Bloat? If not, it's probably ok for you.

I have not tried that, but fat free sour cream works well in the crock pot. Greek yogurt has kind of a gritty texture that might be noticeable in there.

Umm I have no idea I can't see her face!

The only way I can stay under this goal is to eat tons of fruits and veggies. Try to pack as many into a meal as you possibly can. Big salads are a good meal, just make sure you use low calorie dressing. My favorite is the bolthouse farms yogurt dressings. So good and really low in calories! Also, find vegetables you…

I would do the cooked weight. Some water/frost will cook off.

Ohhh thanks, didn't realize this!

Explain.

I feel like it's a cardio workout too. But when I track "weight lifting" under the cardio section on here it gives me such a measly amount of calories burned! I'm not sure what I should be tracking it under?

I didn't ask if he'd be attracted to me no matter what I did. I asked if it would be a problem if I gained weight, and if my current weight was a problem for him. I would absolutely still be attracted to him if he gained weight.

Earl is right. What you eat really doesn't affect your cholesterol much.

Eating low carb is a GREAT way to lose weight. But you can't let your calories get out of control either. I've fiddled around with it a lot, and I found I lost weight consistently and reduced my appetite and sugar cravings a lot by keeping my carbs under about 100grams per day and keeping calories under about 1600 and…

Any kind of food that is ready to eat. If I have a box of crackers in the pantry, I'll snack on them all day. If I have chips, same thing. I find I do best when I don't keep these things in the house. Buy ingredients, not ready to eat food. Then my laziness wins over when the only choice for a snack is one I have to make…

Have you tried drinking carbonated water like La Croix? I know some people get addicted to the carbonation... La Croix is available in different fruit flavors and it's pretty good.

I made this really good italian chicken last night. It's pretty healthy and low carb except for the mozzarella cheese that goes on it. But you can use low fat cheese and use sparingly. Recipe: About 5 medium tomatoes diced (or 1 can of diced tomatoes) 1 can of artichoke hearts 1 cup of mushrooms sliced (or 1 small can of…
